Portugal is the newest location for retirees and digital nomads, while being the oldest country in Europe.

Portugal is a nation that has recently attracted greater attention with expats living abroad. It has a long history and a thriving culture, and it is regarded as the oldest nation in Europe. This article will look at 16 reasons why Portugal is the best nation in all of Europe, if not the entire world.

Fantastic Climate: The average annual temperature in Portugal is roughly 20 degrees Celsius, and there are over 200 days of sunshine. Lisbon’s capital city is the sunniest in all of Europe, with 2,800 hours or more of sunshine on average every year.


Portugal is a very safe country compared to other well-known tourist spots in Europe. As the third-most peaceful nation in the world according to the Global Peace Index, the Portuguese take security seriously.

Charming Cities: Portugal is abundant of cobblestoned, charming, and aesthetically pleasing towns and cities, from Porto to Lisbon, Coimbra, and Sintra. You will have many lovely cities to visit along the road, whether you’re travelling to the national parks or the wine region up north.


Madeira: Known as the “floating garden” or the “jewel of the Atlantic,” Madeira has long drawn tourists from the United Kingdom. It has many exceptional features, such as stunningly blue skies and waters, commanding valleys and mountains, and an abundance of plant life.


Excellent Value: Portugal’s cost of living is among the lowest in Western Europe, making it an accessible travel destination. Even renting a car, eating, and going on excursions are much less expensive here.

Fantastic Beaches and Surf: Portugal has some of the best beaches in the world, with a coastline of around 500 kilometres. It has earned a reputation for having excellent surf conditions, and there are many surf hotels with on-site instructors that start at about 15 to 30 euros per night.

Beautiful Scenery: Portugal has some of the world’s most beautiful countryside. People are exceedingly hospitable and delighted to see new faces if you venture inland and tour the small communities.

Portugal boasts a thriving nightlife, which can be found everywhere from the streets of Lisbon and Porto to the Algarve beach resort. African-inspired house music known as afro house has flourished in Lisbon’s club scene.


Portugal has stunning sunsets almost every day of the year because of its west-facing beaches.

Great Wine and Coffee: Portugal colonised nations that produce some of the world’s best coffee, including Brazil, Angola, and East Timor. A number of places in the nation produce some of the best wines in the world, making the nation another one of its many exports.


Gastronomy: Portuguese food combines tastes from all around the world. Every palate may find something to enjoy in Portugal, from seafood to beef dishes. Famous foods include arroz doce, cozido, and bacalhau (dried and salted cod) (sweet rice pudding).


Historical Monuments: The numerous historical monuments in Portugal are evidence of the country’s long and rich history. There are many possibilities to learn about Portugal’s past, from forts and castles to museums and palaces.


Finding the ideal visa for moving to Portugal is simple with the wide variety of visa options available. Retirees, hardworking digital nomads, and business owners are welcome in Portugal.

Foreigners can also obtain mortgages. You get more house for your money because property costs in this country are substantially lower than those in other nations.


With 10% of the population being foreign-born, you can join the sizable expat community. If you are open to it, you will undoubtedly make many local friends because the Portuguese have such a lovely way of being.


Portugal, unlike other nations like Spain where Spanish is widely spoken, allows you to get by with solely English. If you intend to live here permanently, you should take some language classes while you’re here.

Portugal is a country ripe with history, romance and adventure. Come see for yourself!
